Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Prepare the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the softened Boursin cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet. Whisk continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add herbs: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and dried thyme to infuse the sauce with aromatic herb flavors.
  6. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce generously over each piece.
  7. Simmer to finish: Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, ideally with your choice of pasta or rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Serve with a side of pasta or rice to complement the creamy sauce.
  • For added flavor, garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
  • You can substitute dried thyme with fresh thyme if available for a brighter herb taste.
  • If Boursin cheese is unavailable, a soft herbed cream cheese can be used as an alternative.
